Foundation repair company in Arlington, TX

Measure first. Then talk about piers.
Our office is on Ballpark Way. Most of the houses we work on are a short drive from it, which means you get a crew that knows your streets and your soil.
Arlington soil and foundation movement
Why Arlington Slabs Move
The clay does the moving. The house just follows it.
Arlington sits on expansive clay that swells with rain and shrinks in a dry summer. Most of the homes here are slab on grade, so when the soil under one corner gives up its water, that corner goes with it.
Older neighborhoods near downtown and Meadowbrook have mature trees pulling moisture out of the ground, which is its own kind of problem. Newer sections south of I-20 tend to move because of drainage and fill, not trees.
We measure elevations across the whole house before we recommend anything. Sometimes the answer is a pier line. Sometimes it is water management and nothing else.
Foundation repair services in Arlington
The Work We Do Around Town
Steel and concrete piers
Settlement gets piers driven to soil that will actually carry the load. Steel where depth or load calls for it, concrete where conditions allow.
Pier and beam repairs
Older Arlington homes east of Cooper are often crawl space. Block piers, beam replacement, and shims put the floor back level.
Drainage corrections
When one side of the house stays wet and the other bakes, the slab keeps moving. French drains, downspouts, and regrading calm the soil down.
Concrete leveling
Sunken driveways, walks, and patios are usually a washed-out soil problem, not a structural one, and they cost a lot less to fix.

North Arlington leans older and shadier. South Arlington leans newer and flatter. The plan changes with the house, not the zip code.
Arlington foundation repair questions
Straight Answers
If your question is not here, call and ask. You will get a person who has been under houses, not a script.
How much does foundation repair cost in Arlington?
It depends on how many piers the house needs, how deep we have to go, and whether access is open or tight. We measure the house first and price the real scope. Nobody should quote your foundation over the phone.
Does Arlington require a permit for foundation repair?
The City of Arlington permits structural foundation work, and an engineer's plan is commonly part of it. Give us your address and we will tell you exactly what your job needs before anything starts.
Do the big trees in older Arlington neighborhoods cause foundation problems?
They can. A mature oak pulls a lot of water out of clay soil during a dry stretch, and the ground shrinks with it. That does not always mean removing the tree. Root barriers and consistent watering solve a lot of it.
How long does the work take?
Most residential pier jobs in Arlington are one to three days on site, plus cleanup. Drainage work and concrete leveling are usually faster. We tell you the schedule before we start and we stick to it.
